Peer Praise...

by Pinchas Zukerman VIOLINIST, FORMER NACO CONDUCTOR / MUSIC DIRECTOR I have known Marc Parizeau since about 1999, from the early days of my music directorship with the NAC Orchestra in Ottawa. I first met him through a recommendation from NY producer Philip Traugott. I was unhappy with the sound pickup in the concert hall for our archive recordings due to the new ACS system, and he helped us figure it out. Since then, we have done much work together. Marc was nominated for a 2003 JUNO AWARD for a recording he did with me and the members from the NAC Orchestra; it was for Best Chamber Music Performance. Also, at my request, he recorded a special concert by my chamber group, the Zukerman ChamberPlayers in March 2007. Marc has since recorded my latest 2 CDs, one in November 2014 and the last one in November 2015. I think very highly of Marc’s abilities and recording engineering, and trust him implicitly.

by Maurizio Ortolani New Media Producer, NATIONAL ARTS CENTRE (MIFI blog): Paz dispensing wisdom ...we had the good fortune to spend a morning workshopping our podcast recording techniques with Marc Parizeau (Paz to his friends), a senior audio engineer at CBC Radio and independent producer and engineer here in the Ottawa area. I think we’ve benifited tremendously from his solid “old skool” approach to mic choice, positioning, recording levels and the like.... We’re itching to put our new, fine-tuned techniques to use in our continuous quest to raise the bar on our NAC podcasts.
